110MB Has More Than 110MB...

We are now in the middle of switching hosts for the Dark Nemesis Studios Website. We are going to 110MB.com which has so many things that are awesome. They give 2000 MB of room for the site! That's a huge step up from 400MB. Also, they add cool features all the time and they actually answer your emails. The transfer to the new host may not be done until a couple weeks from now, but its for the best.

Huge_Stinker @ DNS

We have another new member named huge_stinker. Although his name is pretty funny, he gets down to buisness with his coding! So welcome the freshest of meat that I will probably call HS cause Im too lazy to spell everyone's name out!

Massively Many Of-them

In my Spanish 2 class today, I had an interesting conversation with some total strangers. MMO's were the subject and Finding a good one was what we talked about. Here are some games we spoke of and why we like/dislike them:

  1. World Of Warcraft - Pure fun, Use all your moves, and do funny things with your friends. The bad thing is, its a monthly fee.
  2. Guild Wars - A game that took up my whole 2005 summer. A game that now (annoyingly) takes up all of my friends' time. It requires a lot of strategy with the level cap at 20! You can only have 8 skills out at once too. It offers no extra fun stuff like Houses, raids, or flying. The members are pretty cruel and you wont go more than 2 minutes without hearing someone called a n00b. But it doesn't require a subscription, just pay the $50. But then again, there are already expansions, each costing $50 themselves. In my view, its a hole in the pocket for much less fun than other games supply you.
  3. Maplestory - Totally free. You can choose to pay for special items and stuff, but you don't really have to at all. It us 2D which may be a turn-off for some and the opposite for others. It looks very Manga Chibi-ish and the members are nice and helpful! I like this game and do play ti sometimes but the downside is that there isn't much to do really and its a little hard to get started...
  4. Runscape - Free but Crap...
  5. Dungeons and Dragons Online - pretty cool but lacks some customization. It requires you to pay monthly. graphics are amazing.
  6. City of Heroes - Everyone likes this game (you can fly!) except for people who are convincing others to buy Guild Wars (MATT!). I would love to make my own super hero (and now I can be a villian too). but you have to pay monthly.
So if you are looking for the ultimate MMO, THERE ISNT ONE. All of the games have pros and cons, but its your decision which one offers more fun.

I REALLY Hate Catch-Free...

I have applied for an account on a more reliable site, but they haven't said anything in 2 days... But I want to move our website. The thing that sucks is, THERE ARE ABOUT A ZILLION FILES TO MOVE. Yeah... If anyone knows any other good website hosts please point me in their direction.
